Sports Team reveal they're taking a break for the "near future", but promise to return with new music and "the same old bullshit"

Sports Team have announced that they will be taking a break from touring and performing for the “near-foreseeable” future.

After an extensive tour throughout 2022 in support of their second album ‘Gulp!’, the band have decided to take some time off for the foreseeable future to rest and recuperate.

The band expressed their gratitude for their fans in an end-of-year newsletter, thanking them for their support throughout the year.

“We’ve spent the last two years spreading ourselves as thin as our skin would stretch," they explain. "It’s been punishing, joyful, at times almost unbearably bleak, but then for the moments of connection, when you feel it all start to work, perfect. It’s a cliche, but it really is the best job in the world. But, like any job, once in a while you need a long weekend. So, for the near-foreseeable we’ll be taking a bit of time out to sit in the darkness, see family, eat off plates with cutlery, keep our hands nice and clean, sleep in the same place for more than a night, and rent some distant Bon Iver cabin to turn out the heart-breaking and chart-crushing album three the culture has been wailing out for.”

Don't fear, though. Sports Team have promised that they will return with new music, shows, and “the same old bullshit”. Never change.
